Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 614: After taking action against the Huo Family, you want to retreat unscathed, it’s wishful thinking!

Chapter 614: Chapter 614: After taking action against the Huo Family, you want to retreat unscathed, it’s wishful thinking!

Huo Yunjiaocast his gaze onto Dr. Chen, his voice gentle yet hoarse: "I understand Dr. Chen’s meaning."

Not having upset this master, a sense of responsibility and mission sprang up within Dr. Chen.

From a professional aspect, he spoke calmly: "Third Master, there are certain things to be mindful of during pregnancy."

Third Master Huo nodded calmly: "You may continue."

If his voice wasn’t that hoarse and his eyes devoid of turbulence, one might have thought that he was calm.

Naturally, Dr. Chen noticed this master’s seemingly calm but suppressed emotions.

Every man has to go through this phase once he gets married and has a child.

Dr. Chen was very clear; this was an inevitable journey of becoming a first-time dad.

He leaned closer to Huo Yunjiao, whispering, "Generally speaking, it’s not possible in the first three months. Madam is now due, in her second trimester.

In the second trimester, the fetus is relatively steady, not easily affected by the outside world, and it’s not susceptible to miscarriages or premature births.

But still, be cautious. If there’s stomach pain, one must cease..."

Following that, the Third Master and Dr. Chen swapped pieces of unfamiliar knowledge.

Half an hour later.

Huo Chuan respectfully sent Dr. Chen off.

In the drawing room, the Third Master was fiddling with the teaware on the table.

His slender, fair fingers were holding the teapot, wrist slightly drooping, pouring water into the white porcelain teacup placed aside.

The sound of water reverberated within the teacup, the pleasant sound of streaming water echoed.

Huo Chuan approached, standing in front of the Third Master.

"My Master."

Huo Yunjiao looked at him, his face expressionless.

The teapot in his hand was put aside as he lifted the teacup to his nose to take a sniff.

His voice resonated with a deep question: "Was there something earlier?"

Earlier in the sunroom, with Qin Ruan, Huo Yunjiao noticed the anxious expression on Huo Chuan’s face.

He was initially planning on stepping out and inquiring about what had happened.

It was unexpected that Qin Ruan would become uncomfortable.

Huo Chuan was respectful in his stance, announcing solemnly, "Third Master, A158 is a special agent from other territories, the assassination attempt on Second Master a few months ago was carried out with Capital City’s intentions to buy Second Master’s life."

Huo Yunjiao’s teacup-holding hand shook slightly at this news.

His gaze drifted towards the ripples in the teacup, a faint flash of murderous intent passed through his calm eyes.

He brought the cup to his lips, sipped the tea, and asked with a detached voice, "How much was the offer?"

Huo Chuan: "Thirty million."

A light laughter escaped from the Third Master’s thin lips.

He touched the rim of the teacup he was holding, a cold indifference rose within his eyes.

"Thirty million, those who wish to buy someone from the Huo Family probably aren’t very powerful forces."

Huo Chuan: "Indeed, it’s a small faction in the west."

Huo Yunjiao’s finger twisted slightly, casually commenting, "I seem to recall that my brother’s arm was injured?"

Huo Chuan thought back to the wound scrapped on the Second Master’s arm and nodded, "Yes."

If it hadn’t been mentioned by the master, he’d almost forgotten about it.

In that assassination attempt, the Second Master accidentally got a scrape on his arm.

The wound wasn’t big, by the time the doctor arrived, it had stopped bleeding.

Compared to the brutal violence encountered previously, this was nothing.

Huo Yunjiao didn’t see it that way.

He placed the water cup on the table, asserting in a deep voice, "Nobody lays a hand on the Huo Family and lives to tell the tale."

Finishing his sentence, the Third Master seemed deep in thought.

His lips curved slightly, continuing: "Since it’s an insignificant force, might as well get rid of it to avoid them causing more harm to others. Take some men and deal with it."

In his calm words, there was a heavy, unabashed killing intent.

"Yes, my Master!"

Huo Chuan’s voice abruptly rose to a higher pitch.

He further asked, "Master, what should be done with those three people in the Punishment Hall?"

The Third Master glanced at him, said coldly, "Send A158 back to the Punishment Hall, don’t let him die. The other two can be taken care of."

Huo Chuan wasn’t surprised by this, "Should we give them the drug or carry out a public execution in the Punishment Hall?"

To ’take care of’, meant to send them off on their last journey, not to let them go.

Huo Yunjiao furrowed his brows, tapping his fingertips lightly on his knee, his voice gentle, "Give them a quick end."

The implicit message being: there’s no need to torture them anymore.

Huo Chuan hastily said, "The master is kind-hearted."

Huo Yunjiao lightly laughed, as if accepting his compliment.

The fingers resting on his lap quickened their rhythm. "Where’s Huo Qiang?"

Huo Chuan replied: "Over at the small tower, waiting for the master’s next command."

Huo Yunjiao nodded, "Tell him to run an errand. Send a letter to Uncle Nine saying that I’ve missed him dearly and want to play a chess game with him again."

It appeared that Uncle Nine was the instigator behind the incident A158 at the Champs Elysees Manor from the perspective of the Huo Family elder.

Not long after Huo Qiang’s departure, Huo Yunjiao received the news.

Since the other party dared to make a move, he needed to see Uncle Nine face to face to understand his intentions.

He was still alive, but there were people who dared to bully his wife and child openly.

If he were no longer around, that bunch would greedily consume Qin Ruan and the child.

"Yes sir, I will carry out the task at once."

Not long after Huo Chuan left, Huo Yunjiao got up and went upstairs.

Inside the bedroom.

Qin Ruan lay on her side on the bed, hugging a blanket.

Her brows slightly furrowed, revealing an unsettled sleep.

The door was gently opened, but it didn’t disturb Qin Ruan.

Huo Yunjiao closed the door and walked over to the side of the bed.

He gazes down at the lying Qin Ruan, her eyebrows slightly creased.

After watching for a while, he let out an almost inaudible sigh.

The quilt was lifted, and he climbed in beside Qin Ruan.

He reached out his arms to hold her in his embrace.

Two months ago, he could hold Qin Ruan in his arms easily, but now as her belly is growing larger, it’s becoming a little harder to hold her.

The faint scent of sandalwood fills his nostrils as Qin Ruan’s furrowed brows relax.

Her body naturally leaned into Huo Yunjiao’s embrace.

As Qin Ruan settled into the crook of his arm and found a comfortable position, she soon succumbed to a deep sleep.

All these actions, seen by Huo Yunjiao, caused his breath to become lighter.

His heart felt like it was being torn apart, strand by strand.

The reliance Qin Ruan unconsciously displayed was not lost on him.

It had never occurred to him that even in her dreams, this girl would come to depend on his scent.

Huo Yunjiao’s deep gaze fell on Qin Ruan’s tiny face. Seeing half of her face covered by her hair, he reached out and brushed it aside.

The little lass shrank her chin in, lips slightly pursed, as if stirred by a chill.

Huo Yunjiao pulled her back into his arms, giving her his insignificant warmth.

He sighed softly again, filling the quiet room with sound.

Doctor Chen’s words still echoed in his ears.

He had made meticulous arrangements regarding Qin Ruan’s lifestyle, but had overlooked some of her pregnancy needs.

In the half-year they have been together, he indeed hadn’t been a competent husband.

...

When Qin Ruan woke up, the sky outside was already dark.

Her eyes carried an undertone of fatigue.

She had slept such a long time, yet she still felt slightly tired, both physically and mentally.

Her mood had not improved despite the sleep.

A strange unsettling sensation seemed trapped in her chest, leaving her feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

When she opened her eyes and saw the languid expression on her face, she did not notice that another living person was lying behind her.

As soon as Qin Ruan opened her eyes and her breathing became uneven, Huo Yunjiao knew she was awake.

He put down the tablet he was working on beside the bed and turned to Qin Ruan.

"Awake now, why didn’t you make a sound? Anything uncomfortable?"

The sudden, tender voice startled Qin Ruan.

She turned around to meet his worried gaze and pressed her lips together.

"Why is Master here too?"

Everyone knew that he usually avoided her.

Apart from sharing a bed at night, they barely spent any time together during the day.

Qin Ruan wasn’t aware that her words carried a hint of complaint.
